To ALL WHQM 'IT MAY CQNCEEN;

Y Beit-'known that I, ABIL MOTTK, of Scott, in the county'of Cortland,and in the Stateof New York, have inventedcertain new and 'usefulImprovements in HayEleyators and do hereby declare that the following ise full', clear, andv exact descriptionrthereof,`refereuce being. hadtothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon. 4 I l l In the annexed drawings, makingpartofthisspecification, A and H' represent two frames orpulley-blocks.Theframe'A-s provided with thepulleys B, D,`andvE, which are plaeedwithin it, and with a pulley.L, seen in red lines, which islsecured in lbearings upon its outside. Within tbe frame A is pivoteda'small frame, F, which carries a pulley, S, which is corrugated o rroughened in its groove. The frame is so situated that its pulley standsimmediately over the pulleyE of frame A, andit is retained in this.postion'bya spring, a, unless forced out, as jwll be hereinafterdescribed. Gr-represents a stout pin, which is pivoted in the frame A,but having one end, which projects out from said `frame-said end beingprovided with a spring` d, at' the outer end of which is an eye, andnear it a. notch;v The eye is intended. to retain the end of a cord, N.-H represeuts the other fra-me, which is provided, betweenits'sides, witha pulleyQI, and'uponits outside with a pulley,

IM. This frame has :zn-opening in it to receive the pin G of. frame A.On the upper erld of fromeH isa lhook, T.

This machine isintended for elevatingV hay to the mow or stack, and forplacing it in any desired position inthe mow or stack. In usingittheframe [1(ii`usedfor a'mow) is secured by its hook permanently near-the top of the mow, and apulley-block, O, is secured near the top butopposite side of the mow.- Thehaiyruke .or clutch is secured to thelower end oi'a rope, J'. This rope tho-n passes up between pulleys E andS, then up and around the pulley of block O, then back and under p'ulleyC, then Aupland-over pulley I'ot` frame H,and thendown'and'around anyfixed pulley, so that horse-power canbe applied toits end. When hayhas'been caught lupon the rake orclutch attached to one end of' cord J,and the horse at the othell end ofsaid cord is caused to draw upon saidcord, the frame ascends until its-pin G comes opposite-the hole toreceive-it in frame H, and being made to enter 'said hole, it is lthencaught and held byits spring d. A cord, K, seen inred linee, one end ot'which is secured tothe rake or clutch, and which passes around thepulleys and M, is then used to swing the rake or clutch to any desiredpoint inthe mow, where it is to be deposited. vAs soon as the rakehnsbeen relieved of' its load,va. cord, N, which is attached to springa, loosens said spring-:tml allows the 'pin G to draw out of frame H,lso thatthe frarneA may descend for another load of hay. Wfheu the frameA is drawing up, .the frame F turns on. its pivot, so that the pulley Swill not bind'the cord J, but as soon as the frame A is raised to theheight it is designed. to go, the said frame F resumes`its position, and

Vcord J is bound firmly between the pulleys S and E, so as to retain theload of hay Without strain upon the horse. A tight cord maybe used inthetop of the barn, and passed under pulley B offrnrne A, and said framemay be' ru'n upon said cord for carrying hay to different parts'ofthemowz `Having thus fully described my invention, whatl claim, is-` Theframes A and H,wwitb their' cords and pulleys, the'frame F, and pin'G,constructed and used substantially as and-forthe purpose set forth.

` `In testimony that I claim the foregoing,v I have hereunto set myhand, this 23d day ofMa'y, 1867.
